    I guess while i was doing some offroading earlier this month I bent the towing power plug (the place to plug brake lights in). It's bent toward that rear and all the way up and I'm not sure if bending it back (if even possible) will cause it to break off. What do u guys think? Are there any special ways to bend it back without snapping the piece at the crease??

    Sonny and Crocket. Mine's bent as well right now. I'll bend it back and maybe some day mount it in the bumer like others have done.
